Tummy.
Panties. And the equally awful pantiehose.
Gobsmacked.
Cunt.

+1 for panties. The WORST.

I once heard someone use "scrummy hubster" which is excruciating.

And TOTALLY irrationally, cuppa and meal.

Fudge - I posted to say the 'can I get' way of asking for something. Sadly, I think it's catching on with people who should know better.

Recently I've noticed people on social media calling their daughters "prinny" (short for princess) and it makes me want to peel my skin off. It seems to be a regional thing but I really, really hate it.

Holibobs. I can barely type it out and shudder when I read/hear it. It annoys me how much one word gets to me!

I saw someone on here shorten cucumber to “cuke” the other day and nearly threw up.

DecomposingComposers · 23/05/2019 15:46

What's with the hatred for moist ?

I don't know - it's a mixture of the sound and the connotation I think.

It gives me the Heebie geebies

Partner when used in a romantic partnership sense.

HateIsNotGood · 23/05/2019 15:50

Clearly. Everything is expressed in terms of "clearly" now.

It used to be 'strategies' - it's a 'strategy' not feckin strategies.
